The final EVA to complete an upgrade to the Space Station’s robotic arm’s end effector has been completed. EVA-48 was conducted by Expedition 54 Flight Engineers Mark Vande Hei of NASA and Norishige Kanai of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. This EVA was originally delayed after the previous spacewalk, EVA-47, included a software issue that was set to result in the need to reverse the work conducted on the EVA before a software patch was developed.
